According to source code and documentation, the Postfix SMTP server times out while waiting for the "220" server greeeting. For me, there is a 20-second delay before the server greets with: 220-msk5.h2hosting.ru ESMTP Exim 4.98.2 #2 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 20:07:12 +0300 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail. After that, I see no delays responding to EHLO or MAIL FROM. What delays=x/x/x/x does Postfix log with the status=deferred?
